Lots of traveling

It's been awhile since I last posted so just as a warning this one is going to be a doozie. 

For those of you that have multiple kids, you know that getting out the door isn't always the easiest. Well, on this particular day, it took me forever to get everyone ready to leave the house.  Finally, when everyone's shoes were on and Paige was in her car seat, I noticed that my car keys were not in the usual location. I searched for a half an hour for them and kept asking Paul if he knew where they were. I was about to give up and look for the spare keys when I walked by Paul's toy car and saw this. 

They were in the ignition of his car. Silly boy.

Lil Paul loves tools and spends a lot of the day "working" and "fixing things". If you ask him what he is doing he says "I'm working." Here he is doing some "work".

Here is a picture of cute little Paige. She is smiling so much these days.

We decided to bless Paige in St. George with her cousin that was born only 4 days earlier than her. My parents flew in from Michigan and we had a big get together for this special occasion. Here is a picture of Paige in her blessing dress. She looked so beautiful. It was especially special because both Paul and Grandpa Proctor were blessed in this dress. 

Here is Paige and Jane.

Here is a picture of all the cousins. There are 7 in total. 

Here is a picture of everyone. 

While in St. George, Grandpa Proctor was kind enough to take all the kids flying in his private plane. The kids loved it. Here is a picture of the kids in front of the plane. If you notice, Little Paul is hanging on one of the propellors of the plane. This is typical Paul. Gotta love it. 

Here is the pilot with the kids.

Here are the kids waiting to take off. 

One of our favorite spots are these sand dunes in St. George. We made another visit while we were there. 

Before we dropped Grandma and Grandpa Park off at the airport in Las Vegas, we made a visit to the Aquarium at Mandalay Bay. 

Here is Paul walking with Grandma and Grandpa.

Here they are again.

After we got back from St. George, we flew to Michigan for a week. One of my best friends from high school tied the knot and got married. It was really fun to be a part of the wedding. It was also an added bonus to get to spend some more time with Grandma and Grandpa Park.

Here is Paul at the Detroit airport. He was really excited to get off the plane.

Here is Paige getting ready to go to bed.

We went to the Michigan State Fair one of the days.

We also visited an Apple Orchard and picked some apples. 

Here is a picture of the beautiful bride. 

Here is Grandpa and Paige.

We left for Hawaii the day after we got back from Michigan. We spent a week in Oahu. 

We saw a lady letting people take pictures with her birds. We went over to show Lil Paul and she had them get on Paul's shoulders. She asked if we wanted her to take a picture and we said sure thinking this lady was really nice. Then she charged us $10.

We made a day trip to Disneyland when we got back from Hawaii.

Here is Paige with a couple of new arrivals.  I like these pictures because she looks so huge compared to her new friends.

Here are my two cuties.

We had a fun time traveling but it is also nice to be back home. 

The last 5 weeks

Paige is now 5 weeks old! I am really lucky to have had so many family members and friends help me during Paige's early weeks. Grandma Proctor and Grandpa Proctor were the first to visit us. They arrived the evening Paige was born and took care of Little Paul while we were in the hospital. Grandpa left after a couple of days but Grandma was kind enough to stay for a week. Here is a picture with Grandma and our two little ones. We had such a nice time with them here. 

Here is Paul with Paige. I like this picture because it looks like Paul is sleeping here but he really isn't. He likes to pretend he is sleeping. For those that know Paul well, you know that Paul does not nap. He dropped his nap really early. He's like the Duracell Bunny, he keeps going and going and going. 

Here is Paige at 2 1/2 weeks old. 

After Grandma Proctor left, Grandma Park arrived for 2 weeks. She made us lots and lots of delicious Korean food and took Little Paul out to some really fun places during the day. It was so nice to have her here. We all ate really well and I was able to get a lot of rest. Uncle Chong also took Paul out as well. Here are some pictures from their outings. 

Here is Paul and Paige. 

Paul likes to make messes. There have been more and more messes with Paige's arrival since I am not able to keep my eye on him all the time. I often find messes like this one pictured below. Paul had a little run in with Desitin. 

Here is Baby Paige at 4 weeks old. She is changing so much. If you look at her newborn pictures, she looks totally different. We still don't know who she looks like yet.  These pictures are from the beach. 

Here is another mess made by Paul. He decided to pour himself a cup of OJ while I was on the phone with Grandma wishing her a happy birthday.

Here is Paul at the wading pool.

This is the baby doll I gave to Paul right after we got home from the hospital. I heard it was a good idea to give your toddler a baby they could play with while you were tending to yours. I found Paul carrying the baby around with it's head hanging by it's wires. So much for that idea. 

Aunt Shayna came to visit us last week. She was such a big help and made us some yummy meals. We also went out to some fun places and Paul had a really great time with her. 

Paige has been a really good baby so far which has made the transition to two kids a lot easier than I thought it was going to be. Paul had a little bit of a rough time getting used to sharing my attention but is doing a lot better these days. He loves Paige and I think they will grow to be really good friends. Thank you everyone for all of your help during this busy time. We love you all!
